Bart Hubbuch at the New York Post talked to Mets GM Omar Minaya, who agreed with manager Jerry Manuel's pregame comments that the team doesn't expect to bring in significant outside help before the deadline. Minaya ruled out any pursuit of rental players, which would include Matt Holliday.
Hubbuch also notes that Minaya did not deny an earlier report that the Mets refused to deal four of their top prospects for Roy Halladay, and Minaya wouldn't comment further on the situation. No word yet from Minaya on rumors that he was assured his job security by Mets COO Jeff Wilpon.
